Saoirse: Um, then the other thing is, um, what now happens in reference to

getting financial records?

Joe: Yeah, well I'm collecting the funds first…

Saoirse: OK

Joe: …now we have some of the money in, but, all of the money in…

Saoirse: Yeah, yeah.

Joe: …and, ah, we have for example, the AIB money is in, we don't have the prize

bond in, not that that's a huge amount, and I don't have the Ulster Bank

money in…

Saoirse: OK

Joe: …and one of the reasons for that is a bit stupid, the Savings Certificate that

your mother had is still down in Ulster Bank in Wexford and I am just so fed

up with ringing the guy Kevin in Ulster Bank, Dillon…

Saoirse: Yeah, yeah

Joe: …that's his name, Kevin Dillon, and Ulster Bank won't close off the account

until the items are taken up from safekeeping, but he won't ring me back. So,

when I'm going down to the house I'm going to call into him in the bank…

Saoirse: Yeah, yeah

Joe: …and just call in and collect it. So I don't really want to start going over bank

Saoirse: OK. And then can the same thing be done with her land line and mobile

don't think that will be part of the Executor's job, or part of the

administration of the estate.

Saoirse: OK. Can you be requested to do that though, or…

Joe: But I can…

Saoirse: …and charge for it?

Joe: Well no, well, see, the job of the Executor will be to basically collect in the

assets, pay the bills and distribute the funds to the parties properly entitled.

Now, um, if there's going to be spent and time spent going through

telephone accounts or whatever, that's going to be timely and costly.

Saoirse: Right

Joe: And it certainly wouldn't form part of the general administration work.

Saoirse: Right. That's understandable. Is, is there a way that you could work up

something to say…

Joe: Well, see, I mean, I don't want to sound like I only considered this, but, what I

would have thought, I mean, I don't have a problem, and John Cunningham won't

have a problem, and of course I haven't even thought about Onan, but, we wouldn't

have any problem giving any letter of authority to anybody, saying, this is, you, you
